Blinker Problems!
can someone help me out? I am having trouble getting my front blinkers to work on my 1978 F-150 4x4. I have changed the flasher, checked all fuses, and even swapped out the wiring harness to try and eliminate the problem. I get a signal to the rear on both sides both nothing to the front. All side marker lights work and the headlights operate fine. I am also having trouble getting the instrument lights to work. All inquiries are appreciated

Use a test light and check for power at the front blinker. Also make sure the ground wire for each blinker has a clean tight connection to ground. There is a good tech article about testing/ repairing blinkers, might want to read it.

Have you checked the hazard lights to see if the fronts blink?
Did you replace the hazard flasher or T/S flasher ?
Did you turn the headlight switch each direction FULLY to see of the cluster lights come on (when it's dark...right?)
Did you Verify the corurtesy lights Fuse is good?
Do the Wiper/gear shift indictor/Ash tray lights illuminate when you pull the headlight **** out ?

I'm sure this has been checked, but make sure you have the correct bulb and it is in the socket correctly.
I would have to say that getting a test light and checking the contacts in the socket would be the best way to check though.
